“Sameyh to Earth”, keep your feet on the ground it will always be there for you. Being grounded means being one with the earth. A dear friend once taught me how to do walking meditation and since then I consider the soil as part of my soul, my being. I suppose we’re all one in some way or the other, all interconnected. The beauty of this is that we all walk on the same soil treading our own path with our own individual intentions, yet the soil is one. Most of us are on autopilot quickly walking from one step to the next, but what about the one step that can change it all? The one step where you’re actually aware that you’re walking, for me this is new and it feels good. But I often get caught up with running about on autopilot zipping through each step of the day. I intend and demand to fully live my life and be present for each moment possible. I suppose the beginning of that is each step in soil and how I sacrifice the the thought of next moment for the present one. Soil is something to use and muse on.

Isn’t great when you attempt to become aware or mindful even for a moment? Today my heart was delighted as I saw the reflection of my eyelashes sparkle against a recessed light as my eyes slowly opened. My eyelids gently uncovered the two gems I was blessed with. Just a simple moment of awareness made me grateful, realizing what I had been given. The gifts of time, awareness and eyesight. I rubbed my bare feet together creating a plushy patch of energy that gave comfort not only to my body but to my heart and soul. I strive to make more moments like this so that the divine heart, mind and body can be assuaged daily, as if I were re-cleansing myself over and over with each new breath, movement, reaction or thought.

Sitting there at the railroad crossing watching the very slow train go by pondering on whether I should turn off my car or keep it on and wait for this little obstacle to pass by. I decide to turn off my car and as soon as I do I see the last boogie slowly pass by. This experience made me ruminate on a concept of continuing to try at anything but then giving up at the last minute right when you’re about to reach your goal. Yes, this was just a train but what if this was “the” train of my life that was going to take me on a ride that may fulfill my wildest dreams.
I suppose I would never know unless I kept trying until the end. I saw the red railway poles moving in an upward direction as soon as I shut my car off, indicating that each train or path can turn into a new beginning, a new ride, a new journey only if you don’t give up at the last minute. I don’t want that guilt of not following through in life or giving my goals the best shot. So next time I’m not only going to have patience at the cross roads but will catch that train and see where it takes me.

Every day I feel deep down inside that I have a calling in life, a direction where God is supposed to take me. I truly believe my God sent mission is to help others in any way I can, through words, actions, living etc. I don’t know what the medium of communication will be but I do know that each day I try to take my mission to the max. It starts with my mentality and delves into becoming reality by showing to myself that I care about living this life, loving this life and appreciating what God has granted me thus far. So is it is as easy as passing a smile to a stranger, or giving someone a sincere compliment or taking someone’s groceries to their car? Yes, those are all nice actions but I believe my mission starts from within my core, at the soul of my being, almost like a duty to myself. I guess that means being the best global citizen I can be for that day. If I can be aware of the creative ways to help anyone around me then life starts to unfold its true beauty. It doesn’t have to be just passing a smile it can be picking up garbage off the street or compassionately conversing with another. There’s no end to my mission other then that it starts every morning and finishes every night. I’m still perfecting this lifestyle but am sure it will come to full fruition as I continue to seek out each days mission to the max. “Never give up on giving” — Sameyh

I’m sitting there watching my son see the movie “The little engine that could”. I’m touched all over again as if I were a small child who’s hearing those words for the first time, ” I think I can, I think I can.” One of the head trains says to the baby train “if you think you can you will, if you think you can’t you won’t. Either way you’re right.” Those easy going words made perfect sense to me as an adult who doesn’t want to be told what he can or cannot do. I just wanted to know I’m right either way, just like a child would want to know the same. That effective way of communicating is just what I need with my child, a rebellious 3 year old who always needs to be rubbed the right way. I suppose love, affirmation and some firmness goes a long way and finding that balance of which attributes each unique kid needs the most. His favorite movie taught me that lesson once again, don’t ever give up, teach your child in such a creative way that they have no choice but to want to listen to you. It’s not easy but its better then getting frustrated or yelling aimlessly which doesn’t get you anywhere trust me I’ve tried😃 Connecting with them in their language seems to work.

I’m standing there on my phone typing away an extensive rather important email to my sister. My family is sitting there at the dinner table saying, “hurry up your food will get cold”. After the third request I’m frustrated, still lost in my own digital world not realizing they were waiting and that dinner was getting cold. I say, “I don’t need to eat Dad..this is much more important.” I finally finished the email and came to the table. My Dad was a bit irked but didn’t say anything, it was just another night at the dinner table. My family was so patient, understanding and considerate but I on the other hand didn’t even think to say, “I’m sorry, I was writing an important mail to Didi (my sister).” It’s so ironic how easy it is to become absent minded and unintentionally inconsiderate when your preoccupied.

The next morning my Dad says, “Your sister told me about the nice email you sent her, why didn’t you communicate that to me at the dinner table?” I had no valid answer other than the realization that I’m posting in this very blog. Maybe writing this out will make me remember next time, just like I used to write out sentences on the black board at lunch time when I was in school. The only difference is this time no ones making me do it!

“That was a great movie”, my sister says. We are driving out of the parking lot and she see’s a champagne desert bar and playfully asks “you want to go?” I jokingly say, “no thanks, but I’ll go for some blue label.” As we take a turn, my head veers to the right and I see a big blue label outside the “Container Store” in Pasadena with the words “work smart” in it. I’m in awe, even though I was joking it became a sign for me to “work smart” in life and to not spend my precious moments of life being unaware even in the slightest bit of intoxication. It made me further realize I want to be aware and present in each moment, doing that takes practice but can pay off when you look back 50 years from now knowing you savored each moment and didn’t let your life just fly by . So I say, work smart then work hard too!

It’s funny how the mind can work if you look at the world through a positive lens, then you’ll read the right page which can take you and keep you on a happy, healthy path if you finish the book with that same lens.

Well here I am, finally sitting down in front of my computer finally blogging. After long deliberation, I’m entering into the social media arena. For many months I’ve been procrastinating by convincing myself it’s not the right time or that someone would take my data. Am I really so popular that anyone would do that or am I afraid of being criticized or am I just another aspiring artist who wants to make his mark in the world or perhaps I’m just lazy? As you can see, there could be a million excuses for my procrastination, but it’s not about making my mark as one of 7 billion global citizens. (Although, I wouldn’t be upset if that happened!) Rather, it’s about forming a haven for happiness and self-progress by sharing whatever I’ve learned, observed and experienced so far and expressing how I’m moving from where I’ve been to where I continue to be. I realized my true intention; I want people to benefit from this blog. So if I don’t try I’ll never know. I hope you find my musings amusing!

Here’s a brief bio. I grew up in the ever expanding city of Corona, California. Both my parents are from India, but I was born here in the “United” States of America. I graduated from UCLA with a Sociology degree. I like writing and have many goals and visions for the world our children will grow up in one day!

This website Happy Humanity!?!, consists of knowledge I’ve gained from over the past 2 years to 20 years or more, since much of my learning comes from an accumulation of my past coupled with my present understanding of it (change can be constant or captured, the choice is yours). This blog will become a free encyclopedia that touches on all facets of life, from life’s start to life’s end and life’s every simple and challenging day in the middle, which is actually life’s magnificence itself. An “absolute” happy, peaceful and Utopian humanity may never be possible, as our imperfection is our beauty. Yet, in order to get to an awakened evolved global society, we have to start with a happier more fulfilled self, deep down under the surface. It starts and ends with the self, all you have is “x” amount of time left in the middle. You may be billionaire Bill Gates or the happy hard working homeless guy cleaning windshields at the gas station, but looking through the clean glass from inside the vehicle beyond the “change” in your pockets is eventually what will transport you to happiness. We all need sustenance but I believe it’s of no value without happiness, health or wealth which comes in many forms.

If you enjoy thoughts like this please sign up for blog updates, visit and share Happy Humanity!?! This will help me be part of the ultimate contribution of weaving a solid “world wide web” with perspectives and experiences from myself and anyone else who would like to share.

A birthday is a memorable occasion to celebrate, especially with the people that have made your life special and meaningful. Yes, that includes yourself! On my birthday yesterday my family sang “Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you” along with them a different version started blurting out of my mouth. I sang along saying, “Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us”. I guess this just came straight from the heart because I was elated with the fact we were all together celebrating this day. I later realized the hidden meaning behind my words. The birth of who I am today has come from my family who has endowed me with love, guidance and support. Through thick and thin they’ve loved me unconditionally, and it is because of us that life is such a blessing. Thank you to God for putting these people in my life, with them I can accomplish any task. So, a birthday doesn’t have to be just yours it can also be shared with the people who love you.
